This ( 6th June ) morning/afternoon FRS-Holland is attempting to repeat last week's broadcast in full on 7600 kHz 07.52- 12.50 UTC. Last week's reception conditions were appalling and of course both listeners and station staff were disappointed about the results. Today we hope we can make up a bit for the disastrous broadcast of last week. Propagation still is quite poor, if the results are once again very poor we might cease before the end of the broadcast! Today June 6th in the afternoon FRS will be on the internet (streaming audio) starting at 13.52 UTC lasting 18.50 UTC. Address is http://nednl.net:8000/frsh.m3u. THis address counts for those who use WMP, Winamp, Real Audio etc.

The first test transmissions will be on the 20th June 2010 at 18:00 UTC (19:00 UK time), online only. The stream will be opened with silence before hand so you can listen to the very beginning. There is a time delay of about 1 minute on the stream, so the audio may not start until 18:01 UTC. Please send us reports by email to zenderpost@hotmail.com to let us know how the stream went, and we will send you a QSL, either by email or post, which is up to you.

After that will be the proper launch online. The date and time for this has not yet been decided, it depends how the tests go, but it will probably be on a Sunday evening.

After the launch, broadcasts will not be at any specific time, but most live broadcasts will be on Sunday evenings. Pre-recorded shows could be played at any time, most likely weeekends and maybe weekday evenings.
